Being one of the most notable poets from Granada, his poems decorate the walls of the palace of Alhambra. He is known for composing the ''muwashahs'' entitled "''Jadaka al-Ghaithu''" and "''Lamma Bada Yatathanna''."

Ibn Al-Khatib is highly esteemed both as an historian and as a poet. He was a contemporary and acquaintance of Ibn Khaldun.

His greatest historical work, ''al-Ihata fi akhbar Gharnata'' ''الإحاطة في أخبار غرناطة'' (''The Complete Source on the History of Granada''), written in 1369 AD, which includes his autobiography, has yet to be translated into English. Provided by Wikipedia
